Answer:

In the Christian world, Viceroy simply refers to someone God has specially appointed into leadership to lead others in a just and right way after God's own heart, obedience to God's commandments, loving and respecting others.

In the Christian world, Legate is popularly used by the Roman Catholic Church. The Legate is one who is personally representing the Pope in foreign lands and some areas of the Catholic Church. The Legate is usually appointed and choosen by the Pope.

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey is an example of a Legate in England.

The Viceroy works for God as one who is expressly appointed by God. While Legate works direct for Pope but still a minister in God's house.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Viceroy in the Christian world is simply defined as God's servant or God's minister.

Viceroy in Christianity describes an individual who God has tasked to lead his people towards God's direction. Viceroy are expected to lead the people of God and the world at large in a truthful and godly manner. Viceroy in christainity are expected to be pure and holy.

On the other hand, Legate in the Christian world, describes an individual that is a personal representative of the Pope to foreign nations, or to some part of the Catholic Church.

For example: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, is considered as papal legate to England during the reign of Henry VIII.

However, unlike Viceroy, legate are appointed by pope. Legates take charge of major religious post, such as congressional pastor etc .

The similarity between them is that, bothh Viceroy and Legate work for God, even though, Legate takes orders from Pope, it is however, true that Legate works for God, because God is the one that give directives to the popo as the guardian angel.
